Question

acarpenter allows 15percent discount on his goods find the market price of a chair which is sold by him for rs 680

Answer 1

Let market price be Rs. x

We are given, x - x*15/100 = 680
                       x-3x/20 = 680
                  17x = 680*20
              so, x = 40*20
                    x =  800
So, Market Price is Rs. 800
